It has been common practice for couples to adopt a pet during their relationship. It looks so cute in social media and a new form of bond between you and your bae. But are you ready for that kind of responsibility? Here's a rundown of what generally happens when a couple decides to be co-parents of a little fur ball.

You gain more responsibility.

Even if you get a dog, a cat, or any other pet, each one has a specific need. Such as going for a daily walk or cleaning their litter box.

It's going to cost you.

Buying pet food and other pet necessities is no joke with the money department. And a trip to the vet will really burn a hole in your pocket.

Another shoulder to cry on.

At times when you're in a fight or you miss your bae, there's still this cutie next to you that will comfort you through your pain.

Jealousy might get added to the equation.

At some point, your new love might be a cause of jealousy because of your shared attention and a change in priorities.

It's a great bonding experience.

At the end of the day, you gain more things to share with your bae. Shared responsibilities, shared worries, and shared happy moments with this cutie.
